About ProfitLed Podcast
Most startup advice is built around venture capital, hypergrowth, and unicorn exits. ProfitLed is for the rest of us. Hosted by Melissa Kwan, 3x bootstrapped founder and CEO of eWebinar, ProfitLed explores what it's really like to build a company on your own terms, without an abundance of resources and friends in high places. Season Three goes beyond strategy as we explore the intersection of Passion, Profit, and Purpose and what happens when founders evolve and come into financial success.If you're building something real, this one's for you. *Connect with Melissa at melissakwan.com (http://melissakwan.com)* *Brought to you by eWebinar.com**

Like we were like, if you now give us a bag of money, What would we put it in? You know, like all we knew was, oh, we build, we ask, we listen, we make the next feature. And that was kind of it.
